A conference presentation developing a multispecies ecological-unequal-exchange framework for urban metabolism was presented at the 18th Conference of the International Society for Ecological Economics and the 11th International Degrowth Conference in Oslo, in the context of the University of Oslo. The contribution involved Daniela Perrotti and Nicola Bertoldi. The framework examines how non-human work and agency can be represented in urban metabolic analysis and post-growth transitions. The discussion centres on Ecological unequal exchange, Multispecies justice, Urban metabolism, and Degrowth.

The contribution is developed through Conceptual framework development, conference presentation, and interdisciplinary synthesis. It includes an exploratory Brussels application as part of its conceptual development. The geographical or conceptual scope is Oslo, Norway; global urban theory.

The contribution reflects the Lab’s interdisciplinary approach, combining quantitative and qualitative evidence to translate urban-metabolism research into planning, design, governance or policy.
